Discord has become an essential communication tool for various groups and communities, offering a range of use cases that enhance collaboration and foster connections. For small groups, leaders, and students of different age ranges, Discord provides a platform for efficient communication. Users praise Discord for improving communication in the workplace, enabling fluid and streamlined interactions. The ease of connecting and communicating with different groups is another standout feature, making it convenient for organizing gaming meetups, social events, sharing resources and memes, and creating communities of like-minded individuals who can exchange interests and organize meetups. Discord's video chat and streaming capabilities have proven valuable in learning workshops, where screen sharing facilitates teaching sessions for audiences. It is also being used by employees for internal project communication as well as by companies with independent teams aiming to simulate a real office environment. Utilized by remote workers, Discord enables fast and effective communication between teams and groups no matter their location. With its inclusive nature, Discord allows users to connect with others, find creative communities, network, and create a sense of community through feedback requests and support channels. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic's remote work shift, Discord was easily deployed within 24 hours without extensive training requirements. It is lauded for its comfortable interface that helps IT teams stay connected and offers seamless daily communication through file sharing and lag-free screen sharing. Whether facilitating large-scale conference administration or serving as a hub for project management and interdepartmental conversations, Discord proves itself as a versatile tool for organized collaboration on various projects in different industries. Users appreciate how it makes text-based and audio-based communication effortless between groups of people regardless of their geographical location or time differences.

Many reviewers stated that the platform was straightforward to set up, requiring minimal effort or technical knowledge. They found the user interface to be intuitive and user-friendly, allowing them to navigate the platform easily without any confusion.

Numerous users mentioned that they found it effortless to share files with their team members through the platform. This functionality streamlined collaboration and improved workflow efficiency by eliminating the need for external file-sharing tools.

Stable Performance in Voice and Video Calls: The stable performance of voice and video calls on Discord has been highlighted by many users. They expressed satisfaction with the quality and reliability of these communication features, noting that they experienced minimal disruptions or dropped calls during their usage. This stability contributed to effective remote team communication and enhanced productivity.

Lacking Aesthetics: Several reviewers have expressed disappointment with the visual design of Discord's user interface, particularly considering its target audience within the gaming community. They feel that the interface could benefit from a more appealing and modern look.

Notification Setups: A number of users have experienced issues with message notifications due to inadequate setup options, resulting in missed messages. Some users have mentioned that they did not receive timely notifications for new messages or mentions, leading to difficulties in staying updated on conversations.

Difficulties Adding Specific Users: Some users have struggled with adding specific individuals to a server, possibly due to functional limitations within the application. They have reported encountering challenges while trying to invite or find specific users by their usernames or email addresses. This can be frustrating when trying to connect with friends or colleagues on Discord.

Our team uses Discord for both project and interdepartmental communications - essentially as an alternative to Slack. Discord allows us to keep our conversations organized by topic or project, and serves as a great point of reference when we need to catch someone up to speed on a project or topic.

We are having a community of more than 3000 on Discord where we have different channels for different topics or tech .We have different bots to automate every thing.For a community to serve the members is the big priority so it is serving that for us ,as the community helps to grow our business.

Before we started using Discord, communication in our work environment was not as fluid, and we did not have so many communication tools in our favor; in any case, we had to use communication applications that were completely outdated and outdated, or that simply did not meet the standards to be able to implement them in a calm and prolonged way in our work and internal communication. In addition to this, thanks to Discord, we have been able to create a community of our company with our clients, getting closer to the end user and potential new users, creating a brand union with them.

I use Discord for my daily communication. I use it to share files and for sharing screens. Discord is great because it lets you connect with people in other countries without any experience of lag. You can create as many channels as you want and invite other people. And there is a direct message feature for private messaging.

Discord is a great place for fans to connect, hold polls, contests, make announcements, and the like. I use it, in particular, to notify fans when I'm about to go live, when I'm marketing something, and when I need to check in with my moderators off steam. I also use it to connect to other streamers in the community.

I use Discord to connect with one on one calls, screen sharing, and even sharing any types of files I needed. It proved to be quite useful since I can connect with people in any country without any net lag.

We use it as a communication tool to ask for feedback and support people with [their] problems. It's also an amazing place to just chill and get to know each other some more. You could hop in a call or game [together] because discord is all about bringing people and community closer [together]. And that's what we do.

We started to use Discord all across the whole organization right when Covid19 forced every company to work from home. This platform was easily deployed within the first 24 hours and required almost no training. It's now our main application for internal communications. We set up every team/department on both, text and voice channels.

We use discord for our gaming meetups and social events. I have joined various hobby and interest channels and love how easy it is to use. We use the voice chat for our gaming nights, and don't really have any problems with sound and setups, it just works well. We share our resources and memes. Some channels we use to create a community of like minded individuals, a space where we can share our interest and organize meet ups. The video chat and streaming works well in our learning workshops, and can teach our audience through screen share.

Ever since the pandemic started, the whole company switched to Discord for internal communication. Especially in companies that have small independent teams, discord rooms act like real office rooms.

That way, every team can act like they are in a real office. Voice calling, screen sharing, and team rooms are the main reason why Discord is so appealing.

In our company, Discord is used to communicate between employees. It is very convenient that only a browser is required to use it. Discord is well suited for simultaneous communication with a large number of people because [it] allows you to have a conference "administrator" and other useful things.

Currently Discord is only being used by my department but we've found it to be an excellent communication tool. Because we minister to primarily young people, 12-18, Discord is a platform that many of our students are already on. We use Discord as a communication tool for specific groups; small groups, leaders, age ranges of students, etc. and are easily able to connect and communicate with these groups whenever we need.

Discord is being used for internal communication between employees about the projects we are developing. We use channels divided by projects so that information is grouped and organized. All employees work remotely and Discord has become a great ally for us to discuss aspects of each project with each responsible team.

Since lockdown in the UK we implemented Discord to give us a fast and effective way to communicate between teams and groups. Discord allows us to jump straight into voice chats in meeting rooms and share content. Perfect for fast efficient design meetings. As we are all working remotely it was the ideal tool to bring us together, and while we are now can visit our office we still utilise it for some remote workers.

Discord is used within the IT team. It is used to help us stay in contact. There are a few other messaging apps that we use (Teams, Slack) but Discord feels very comfortable and familiar. The ease of use that Discord provides is great. It is also very nice to have during the pandemic because it is an easy way to keep in touch with your friends and family.

Discord is a great way to connect with others. As a freelance artist, I am able to find and connect with creative communities for networking and strategic purposes. Especially in this time of global pandemic, it makes communication and idea sharing easy. I use it both for business and personal uses.
